2308 Sisters Falling Out
The first line of the key article on the cover page of the newspaper must state that Qiao Mei had danced for the first time at his charity gala as a show of respect for him! This would definitely lead to countless orders for his business!
The emcee went on stage to announce the next event of the gala. Nan Dong extended his hand to Qiao Mei and said, "After you, Madam Qiao."
Qiao Mei placed her hand on Nan Dong's hand expressionlessly. The moment her hand touched his, her hand immediately bounced off as if she had been electrocuted.
This was the first time she had such a feeling. Nan Dong really lived up to his name, which meant winter. The moment the two of them came into contact, Qiao Mei could only feel a bone-chilling coldness run through her. She realized that the energy in her body even subconsciously flowed towards Nan Dong, as if it was being devoured by him.
"What's wrong? Do you feel unwell?" Qian'e asked worriedly as she hurried forward to hold on to Qiao Mei.
Qiao Mei looked at Nan Dong's cool expression and said calmly, "I'm fine."
The bangle on her wrist emitted a faint green light that locked in all of Qiao Mei's energy. Qiao Mei placed her hand on Nan Dong's hand again. Although she still felt uncomfortable, it was much better than before.
The music started playing and Qiao Mei frowned as she tried to follow Nan Dong's dance steps. Nan Dong smiled and said, "Is it so stressful to dance with me? Relax a little, otherwise those people will think that the organizers and I are forcing you to do this."
"It's fine. I'm just not interested in dancing," Qiao Mei said.
"It appears that Madam Qiao has been quite hostile to me from the beginning. Can I ask how I have offended you?" Nan Dong asked.
"Offend? It's not to that extent. This is how I react to everyone. You don't have to take it to heart," Qiao Mei said resignedly. She just wanted to end everything quickly and go home.
Nan Dong smiled and did not continue asking questions. Qiao Mei quietly checked out Nan Dong's clothes. She did not dare to activate her ability to look and see if there were any secrets inside Nan Dong's body. She had already sensed that there was danger from that uncomfortable feeling just now.
"Mr. Nan, are you a local?" Qiao Mei asked.
"Huh? Not really. Madam Qiao, are you interested in my affairs?" Nan Dong said nonchalantly.
"Qian'e has said that you are her fiancé after all. As her sister, I have to ask you some questions," Qiao Mei said.
Nan Dong said earnestly, "I grew up overseas. My parents died in a fire and I'm an orphan. My adoptive parents had migrated overseas from this country and they adopted me there later. The two of them are traveling the world now, so I have come back to build up my career."
"I've also lived overseas for a few years. I wonder which country you grew up in?" Qiao Mei asked.
"Country K." Nan Dong did not go into detail. The music ended at this point, so Qiao Mei could only wait for another chance in the future to continue questioning him. At least she had managed to get some useful information.
It was already dark by now. Qiao Mei grabbed Qian'e and did not let her leave. She brought Qian'e back to her house and the two of them sat in the study room, facing each other.
"You make me come to your house when it's already so late. Don't tell me that you want to interrogate me…" Qian'e asked guiltily.
"In a sense. After all, I'm really shocked that you suddenly brought home a random fiancé without saying anything to us," Qiao Mei said with a frown.
Qian'e looked at Qiao Mei and said, "I also know that Nan Dong and I are progressing a lot faster than normal, but I just can't control myself. I really like him."
"You can't control yourself? What do you mean? You're older than me. Don't tell me that you can't control your feelings," Qiao Mei said.
"It's true! I was deeply attracted to him the moment I saw him! At that time, I felt that I had met the right person for me and it turned out to be true! He meets my needs in every way! I… I want to be with him even more after that." Her voice became softer and softer as she spoke, worried that Qiao Mei would get angry.
Qiao Mei held back her anger and said, "Do you know anything about his family situation?"
"Of course I do. He's an orphan! That's why there won't be any conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for me!" Qian'e said agitatedly.
"Orphan… Do you know that there are no clues to be found about this person at all! Yao Nian has searched the entire country! There's no trace of this person called Nan Dong at all! To put it simply, this person seems to have appeared out of thin air!" Qiao Mei said.
"That's Yao Nian's problem! He didn't do his best! And how can you ask Yao Nian to investigate Nan Dong!" Qian'e shouted.
"What… what did you say? Say it again? I'm investigating him because look at how you've been bewitched by him!" Qiao Mei asked as she looked at Qian'e in disbelief.
"Yao Nian is just not good enough! He took your money but fooled you by not doing his best! If you want to know anything, just ask me!" Qian'e said self-righteously.
